The Marvel films, as fantastic as they continue to be on many level, have become formulaic. This is was especially evident in the second Avengers film which was solid work but for example again ended in another big mess of a fight in city X. Ant-Man continues along a familiar path but wins you over with a pitch perfect cast and humorous script. Edgar Wright (Shaun Of The Dead) was attached to the project for many years and though it's not clear how much of his ideas remain in the film, Reed (Bring It On [!]) navigates it safely to port. Rudd along with Michael Peña give the film its welcome comedic tone while Douglas offers effortless gravitas just by being there. Stoll, who first left a lasting impression on me in the otherwise overrated Salt, is a marvellous baddie. A fine balance of crazy with emotion. This is the most relaxed outing in the MCU thus far and I have absolutely no problem with that.

I am not my job or how much money I have in the bank.

Just felt like sharing my views and opinions about these films and related topics with you, but feel free to let me know if there's a particular film of which you'd like me to write about. If I haven't seen it, I'll try to make an effort to find it and review it for you.
Bare in mind that I'm only just getting started. There's not much material yet, but Rome wasn't built in a day either. Right?? :) and also, I'm a Finnish guy so give me a break if my english isn't 100%.
